45. Popeye's

is awesome, but I have to admit, the best part about going to Popeye's is their red beans and rice. It's fantastic, and a meal in itself. I usually get just a large RB&R, and I'm set. It's not that their chicken isn't good, it's that the red beans are that great.

Mondays are always a great day in New Orleans and the surrounding area .
